It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.

Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

Are these common nowadays? Thought their environments got burned down.

No, no, they were towed outside the environment!

Are you confessing to something

Just a lot of the koala habitats got destroyed by wildfires and they’re more endangered than ever now. So I’m surprised if they’re commonly seen.

There are the ones whose habitats were burned down/deforested. Then there are the ones with raging chlamydia infections. Then there are the ones that are overpopulating their habitat.
